Former United States Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, has called for a global compact on surveillance and the use of collected data, saying the US isnt the only country that does it and American technology companies are unfairly targeted for the governments actions.

The US government doesnt use information for commercial purposes, while other countries do, Clinton said.

We need to make it clear to other countries that our technology companies are not part of our government, and that we have more legal processes than any other country that Im aware of covering government requests for information, Clinton said during her appearance at the Nexenta OpenSDx Summit, a technology conference in San Francisco.

The threat of electronic spying was so great in some countries that when traveling as a US official she couldnt carry any electronics, she said.

Every time I went to countries like China or Russia, I mean, we couldnt take our computers, we couldnt take our personal devices, we couldnt take anything off the plane, because theyre so good, they would penetrate them in a minute, Clinton said. She and her staff removed the batteries and left the devices on their plane.

According to Ovumresearch, though she wants to see an international agreement on the collection and use of data, Clinton acknowledged that would take long and careful effort.

Clinton, who is pondering a run for president in 2016 and is widely considered the likely Democratic nominee, said the US wasnt perfect on the surveillance front, especially when it was scrambling around after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Theres no doubt we may have gone too far in a number of areas, and that those have to be rethought and we have to rebalance, Clinton said. The [National Security Agency] didnt, so far as we know, cross legal lines, but they came right up and sat on them.

But she said some tradeoffs have always been necessary. Our privacy and our security are in a necessary, inevitable tension, Clinton said.

Clinton also voiced support for immigration reform and H-1B visas for skilled workers, both hot-button issues for a tech audience, but warned that IT shouldnt use immigration to avoid hiring locally.

SEN. RAND PAUL raises an interesting question:

When has Hillary Clinton ever been right on foreign policy?

The valkyrie of the Democratic Party says she urged President Obama to do more to aid Syrian rebels years ago. And last summer, she supported air strikes on Bashar Assads regime.

Had we followed her advice and crippled Assads army, ISIS might be in Damascus today, butchering Christians and Alawites and aiding the Islamic State in Iraq in overrunning Baghdad.

But if the folly of attacking Assads army and weakening its resistance to ISIS terrorists is apparent to everyone this summer, why were Clinton, Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry oblivious to this reality just a year ago?

Consider the rest of Hillarys record. Her most crucial decision as Senator came in 2002 when she voted to invade Iraq. She now concedes it was the greatest mistake of her Senate career.

She voted against the surge in 2006, but confided to Defense Secretary Bob Gates that she did so to maintain her political viability for 2008. This is statesmanship? Not voting your convictions about what is best for your country at war, so as not to antagonize the liberals in the Iowa caucuses?

In 2009, Hillary presented a reset button to Vladimir Putins foreign minister. In 2011, she supported U.S. air strikes to bring down Col. Gadhafi and celebrated in Tripoli when he was overthrown and lynched. How did that work out? Libya is today a hellhole of murder and mayhem and Islamists are threatening a takeover. Who did Hillary think would rise when Gadhafi fell?

Hillarys failure to anticipate or prevent the Benghazi massacre and her role in the botched cover-up, all concede, are burdens she will carry into the primaries in 2016, should she run.

Where, then, has Hillary exhibited the acumen to suggest she would be a wise and savvy steward of U.S. foreign policy in a disintegrating world?

US companies are being unfairly tarred for perceived cooperation with the government, she said

Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke on Thursday at the Nexenta OpenSDx Summit in San Francisco.

Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called for a "global compact" on surveillance and the use of collected data, saying the U.S. isn't the only country that does it and American technology companies are unfairly targeted for the government's actions.

"The US government doesn't use information for commercial purposes," while other countries do, Clinton said.

"We need to make it clear to other countries that our technology companies are not part of our government, and that we have more legal processes than any other country that I'm aware of" covering government requests for information, Clinton said during her appearance at the Nexenta OpenSDx Summit, a technology conference in San Francisco.

The threat of electronic spying was so great in some countries that when traveling as a US official she couldn't carry any electronics, she said.

"Every time I went to countries like China or Russia, I mean, we couldn't take our computers, we couldn't take our personal devices, we couldn't take anything off the plane, because they're so good, they would penetrate them in a minute," Clinton said. She and her staff removed the batteries and left the devices on their plane.

Though she wants to see an international agreement on the collection and use of data, Clinton acknowledged that would take long and careful effort.

Clinton, who is pondering a run for president in 2016 and is widely considered the likely Democratic nominee, said the U.S. wasn't perfect on the surveillance front, especially when it was "scrambling around" after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

"There's no doubt we may have gone too far in a number of areas, and that those have to be rethought and we have to rebalance," Clinton said. "The [National Security Agency] didn't, so far as we know, cross legal lines, but they came right up and sat on them."
